Chapter 123: Will Li Beijue Accept Me Again

Jiang Baobao was practically laughed to anger.

She gave a cold snort and retorted unceremoniously, "Who is the one really taking advantage? I am the one from the Jiang Family. With Uncle having such a major incident, isn't it only right and proper for me to return and take over the company? Not only that, I also intend to take back all the shares under my parents' names. Aunt, many of the shares in your hands are still written under my mother, Xia Xuerou's name, aren't they?"

Jiang Baobao spoke unhurriedly, watching the family of three—her aunt, uncle-in-law, and cousin—before her, as countless memories surged from the bottom of her heart.

Back then, after her parents' accident, her aunt and uncle-in-law had directly taken control of her father's company!

Then, not long after, they immediately arranged for her to transfer schools, throwing her from an elite aristocratic school into an ordinary vocational high school!

By the time she was eighteen, they had simply washed their hands of her entirely!

And they had the nerve to call it letting her go out and get some experience!

For so many years, she had never forgotten these things!

They were just buried in her heart, one by one, piece by piece!

She had originally planned to slowly snatch back her father's life's work when she had the chance, but she never expected them to be so excessive now, directly setting their sights on the entire Jiang Family!

And bullying Grandma and Uncle like this!

A trace of hatred gradually stained the depths of Jiang Baobao's eyes.

Xia Huiya's gaze flickered for a moment, the feigned kind expression on her face vanishing as she directly shirked responsibility: "It's been so many years. If those shares were to be moved, there would be quite a lot of troublesome procedures. Besides, I've helped your parents manage them for so many years; even if there's no credit, there's been hard work. You haven't returned for so many years, and now that you're back, you're demanding money so aggressively—it really chills your aunt's heart."

Xia Huiya put on a full display of her elder status, making it clear that it was impossible for her to return any property.

Lu Qing'er also suddenly thought of something, a look of watching a good show appearing on her face: "Jiang Baobao, even if you want money, you have to have the life to spend it, right? Do you know that Li Beijue has been looking for you? I'm really curious, just how exactly did you manage to annoy him? If he finds out you're back, I'm afraid you'll die a miserable death..."

As Lu Qing'er spoke, she felt incredibly delighted inside.

She knew it; there was no way Jiang Baobao could have such good fortune!

So what if she had married Li Beijue back then!

She simply couldn't keep his heart!

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, taking in the smugness on Lu Qing'er's face.

Does Lu Qing'er want to watch a show that much?

I'm afraid she's going to be disappointed!

Jiang Baobao stepped forward, suddenly curling her lips into a smile as she spoke: "Is that so? How come I didn't know about that? When we were eating together this morning, Beijue didn't seem to have any objections to me."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'er's expression changed abruptly.

Xia Huiya and Lu Guohui also exchanged a glance.

Jiang Baobao returned to the Li Mansion?

How could Li Beijue possibly accept her again?

"What? You all seem unhappy? Aunt, do you not wish for me to do well?"

Jiang Baobao deliberately pointed out what was on their minds.

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Lu Qing'er had the word 'jealousy' practically written on her face, but she had only said one word before being stopped by Xia Huiya.

Xia Huiya looked Jiang Baobao up and down, her eyes thoughtful.

This girl has grown much prettier than before, and she has more confidence in her speech...

But, she shouldn't even think about fighting against her!

Xia Huiya didn't take Jiang Baobao seriously at all.

After thinking for only two seconds, she gave a dry laugh and said: "Since you've already returned to the side of the President of Li, the few shares in your aunt's hands shouldn't mean much to you..."

"No, those belong to my parents."

Jiang Baobao cut her off directly: "Aunt, let's stop wasting words. You get the procedures done as soon as possible and give me those shares; I will give you appropriate compensation. Also, tell me how much this villa cost you back then; I will buy it back. Please move out as soon as possible!"

"Buy? Can you afford it?"

Lu Qing'er laughed out loud, looking at Jiang Baobao's attire with disdain: "Even if the clothes and bag you're wearing now are worth a bit of money, there's no need to put on such an act, right? To buy this villa in full—even if it were a loan, you couldn't afford the payments."

"Is that so?"

Jiang Baobao smiled and directly named her price: "Fifty million, is that enough? If not, one hundred million will do!"

"You can come up with one hundred million?" Lu Guohui was stunned upon hearing this.

Xia Huiya's expression was also somewhat surprised.

Only Lu Qing'er reacted the fastest, saying sourly: "You didn't take some man's money, did you? You're only capable of relying on selling your looks..."

"Slap!!!"

Before she could finish her sentence, she received a heavy slap across the face!

Lu Qing'er was completely stunned by the blow, frozen in place.

Immediately, the expression on her face turned somewhat ferocious.

"Jiang Baobao! You dare to hit me!" She said, preparing to pounce toward Jiang Baobao!

"Jiang Baobao! How dare you lay a hand on Qing'er!" Xia Huiya also reacted, stepping forward and raising her hand, intending to strike Jiang Baobao!

Jiang Baobao gave a cold snort and dodged to the side.

Xia Huiya stumbled, nearly landing on the ground in a sorry state, her face turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Mom!" Lu Qing'er hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

Lu Guohui stood to the side in silence, frowning as he watched the mother and daughter.

"Aunt, if Cousin had that mouth of hers out in the world, it wouldn't just be a simple slap!"

Jiang Baobao watched the two people before her with cold eyes, deliberately flexing her wrist, feeling a slight numbness in her palm.

Then, she deliberately put on an apologetic expression and said loudly: "Sorry, I was a bit emotional just now and forgot that one must consider the owner before beating a dog. I should have told Cousin to be careful in private."

"Jiang Baobao! Who are you calling a dog!"

Lu Qing'er was instantly overcome with rage.

"Baobao..."

Old Madam Jiang tugged on Jiang Baobao's sleeve with some worry, her face filled with irrepressible astonishment.

She never dreamed that her granddaughter, who used to be so reticent, would have such a fiery temper now!

The atmosphere around them became somewhat scorched.

Xia Huiya found a level spot to stand steady, her chest heaving with anger, and loudly scolded Jiang Baobao: "Qing'er was just joking with you! Why are you bickering with her!"

"So that's what you call a joke..."

Jiang Baobao deliberately put on an expression of sudden realization and took a sharp step forward: "Then my way of joking with others is to use my hands!"

Lu Qing'er was startled and instantly hid behind Xia Huiya.

She acted pitiful again and cried out: "Mom, even you have never raised a hand to hit me..."

Looking at the fingerprint on Lu Qing'er's face, Xia Huiya felt heartbroken in an instant; she immediately took out her phone and said with a hateful tone: "I'm calling someone right now to throw her out!"

Just as her voice fell, she caught sight of Lu Guohui stepping out and blocking the way in front of Jiang Baobao.

He then feigned a stern scolding: "Enough! How much longer are you going to make a scene! Aren't you embarrassed enough yet!"
